Summary : Example configuration for greylisting using Exim
URL : https://www.exim.org/
License : GPLv2+
Description : This package contains a simple example of how to do greylisting in Exim's
: ACL configuration. It contains a cron job to remove old entries from the
: greylisting database, and an ACL subroutine which needs to be included
: from the main exim.conf file.
:
: To enable greylisting, install this package and then uncomment the lines
: in Exim's configuration /etc/exim.conf which enable it. You need to
: uncomment at least two lines -- the '.include' directive which includes
: the new ACL subroutine, and the line which invokes the new subroutine.
:
: By default, this implementation only greylists mails which appears
: 'suspicious' in some way. During normal processing of the ACLs we collect
: a list of 'offended' which it's committed, which may include having
: SpamAssassin points, lacking a Message-ID: header, coming from a blacklisted
: host, etc. There are examples of these in the default configuration file,
: mostly commented out. These should be sufficient for you to you trigger
: greylisting for whatever 'offences' you can dream of, or even to make
: greylisting unconditional.
